InfoWorld Sets Agenda for Second Virtualization Executive Forum

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – JANUARY 8, 2007 – IDG's InfoWorld, the leading integrated media brand for IT solutions management, today unveiled the agenda for its second Virtualization Executive Forum, taking place Monday, February 12, 2007 at the Hotel Nikko in San Francisco. The executive-level event provides real-world guidance and best practices for dynamically managing the IT environment. The Virtualization Executive Forum premiered last September 25-26 in New York City and attracted 300+ senior-level technology and business professionals looking to understand benefits and next steps associated with implementing an enterprise-wide virtualization strategy. February's event will highlight the most popular sessions from September and explore building and deploying server, storage, application and desktop virtualization technologies to reduce hardware costs, enhance business agility, improve deployment cycles, create a foundation for disaster recovery, and more.

Passes to attend InfoWorld's Virtualization Executive Forum are priced at $1,195, with credential, subscriber and early registration discounts available. Members of the press using promotional code VIRTPRESS are eligible for complimentary registration. To register, visit: http://VirtExecForum.com/register .

"Last year, x86 server virtualization jumped out of the test lab and into production environments," said Doug Dineley, InfoWorld's executive editor and content chair for the event. "At our February 12th conference, we'll hear from IT execs that made that leap and zero in on the benefits, challenges, and best practices for moving to a virtualized infrastructure. Server, storage, application, and desktop virtualization — and what they offer to the enterprise — are all on the agenda."

InfoWorld Media Group helps IT solutions management choose the right technology, within the context of a cohesive strategy, for business impact at their organizations.
